Last Friday I had the pleasure of sitting on a discussion panel held before the Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim California, hosted by an all natural egg company, NestFresh out of Colorado. They are a specialty egg company with truly cage-free, pasture-raised hens that produce organic and the first Non-GMO Certified eggs. Since my family (well, […]

Easy Kale, Sausage and White Bean Soup
I’m a big fan of kale. I use it in my daily smoothies to create instant super nutrition and in the evenings for hearty salads. Dark leafy greens nutritionally, are very high in calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorous, zinc and vitamins A, C, E and K. They are crammed with fiber, folic acid, chlorophyll and many […]

Spring Clean Your Food?
I’m not talking about scrubbing your food with a scouring pad. I’m talking out pitching out the junk. I’m not a big fan of having foods around that are unhealthy, especially those that you know are your undoing (chocolate chip cookies for me).

Read MoreThe Why, What and How about Vegetables
We all heard growing up to “Eat your vegetables!” and I don’t know about you but I didn’t care much for vegetables as kid. Now as an adult, I love them and I don’t think that has as much to do with my age now as with the vegetables I was eating as a kid. […]
